XFX GeForce 8800 Ultra XXX – Uber Performance, Monster Price Tag

jmke · 8th May 2007, 10:13

XFX’s 8800 Ultra XXX screams along at top speed leaving every other single GPU solution in the dust, there is no doubt about that. However it is safe to say that with word on the street that supply and quantities is very low, Nvidia is not expecting to sell many of these graphics cards. We have even heard from some of Nvidia’s partners in Taiwan that they do not even want to touch the tweaked G80 chip in fear that they will not sell. Nvidia believe there will be a few handfuls of ultra high-end extreme users out there that will pay the money just to have the best of the best. This XFX Ultra got a nice price tag of $1200.

Okay, at least one card seems to have earned the "Ultra" designation. Only card I recall seeing with 1675MHz shaders to match it's 675MHz/2300MH Core/Ram clocks. I wish I could test if watercooling would make any difference on overclocking that card...
